Of course, like most of you - Monday is FHE, Tuesday is Enrichment, Wednesday is YW, Friday is date night, etc. <BR/><BR/>Hey Crystal, Why don't you pick a book for March. Kay you pick for April. One of my all time favorites is Expecting Adam by Martha Beck. Crystal you'll appreciate her pregnancy descriptions: "I had that pregnant glow about me, similar to the look you see on people who grew up in Chernobyl."<BR/><BR/>"Even more distressing, my mental faculties were getting duler by the minute. I felt as though my brain had been replaced with a zesty blend of oatmeal and pond scum; I had lost the capacity for intellectual analysis, and my memory, which had once been reasonably good seemed to have shut down operations altogether. After teaching - not just taking but <I>teaching</I>- an entire course on Caribbean culture, the only thing I can recall from the class is that the U.S. military referred to its attack on Grenada as a "predawn vertical insertion". And the only reason I remember this is that John and I took to using the phrase to describe the act that had gotten me pregnant in the first place."SuperCoolMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08270805063761270314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970669101140982047.post-70585282998102380932008-03-05T09:07:00.000-08:002008-03-05T09:07:00.000-08:00I think it would be fun to do a chat once a month....I think it would be fun to do a chat once a month.

Even if we didn't all read the same book at the same time, I'm sure we could chat forever on all the other books that we have in common - plus all those that we WANT to read.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I am LOVING The Book Thief. That man has a GiFt with WOrDs! At least every other page I find myself wanting to write down a phrase or description! wouldn't it be amazing to have a conversation with that man!?!SuperCoolMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08270805063761270314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970669101140982047.post-46991922308505856812008-03-03T10:16:00.000-08:002008-03-03T10:16:00.000-08:00i love the other boelyn girl!! i have read all of ...i love the other boelyn girl!! i have read all of phillippa gregory's books. some of them (this one included) can be a little raunchy. but since i love tudor history this one was right up my alley. i am planning on reading it again before i go see the movie.

My squeaky-clean book club outlawed These is my Words (because of the rape incident and violence), and the Twilight Series (because they are too sexually stimulating). Yeah. Obviously the definition of "Dirty Books" is quite subjective.SuperCoolMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08270805063761270314noreply@blogger.com
